Earth Connections progress

“Fall Leaves Fall” is the name of my installation at the Farley Center’s Earth Art event this year. I am working on oak leaves cut from wood sourced and milled on the site. The leaves shapes are actual leaves from my chosen location that were found while locating where the installation will be placed.

I will either make a mobile or linked clusters of falling leaves. Mobiles are difficult in an outdoor setting. I hope to solve that by using wires formed into links, which should spin less than using string.

Here are the first leaves cut on a bandsaw.
